Hi Loslau!
Thanks!

I remember, I posted this picture long time ago, about the 39/36M smoke mortar shell, to the amunicja.poszukivania.pl forum. :tinysmile_shy_t:
You can see the head screw with the detonator, it was one piece worked out, this is his mainly characteristic.
 
Revisiting an old thread I have some questions.

On the pictures is a variant of the 36/81M fuze without a detonator. Markings 14 R 37
It was used with gr Zdlg C/98 from 1936.

Is this German export to Hungary?
What was the designationof the fuze?

Thanks, Bob

In 1938, made approx 400 pieces to smoke from german HE rounds.
In the manual, you can see the original fuze designation.

Apparently this mortar shell was also in the Italian inventory.
